The goal of this study was to investigate whether ocular and hand motor systems operate independently or whether they share processes. Using dualtask methodology, reaction time (RT) latencies of… (More)

In the present study a direct manipulation of the optical expansion pattern was carried out. What happens to the timing of the grasp movements involved in catching a ball when optical expansion… (More)

The aim of the present study was to investigate the nature of the interference effect when the eye is accompanied by a goal-directed hand movement rather than when the eye moves alone. Latencies of… (More)

This study addresses the question as to the nature of the information on which the preactivation of the appropriate muscles in the grasping of the ball in a onehanded catching task is initiated and… (More)

Male university students (N=44) attempted to catch lawn-tennis balls delivered by a mechanical projection machine. The ball was always projected in the dark and caught in the dark but was illuminated… (More)

The present paper discusses the influence of different training methods--i.e., knowledge of results, preferred frequency, and the availability of a model--on the learning of a complex motor skill, in… (More)

The inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) are emerging as key proteins in the control of cell death. In this study, we evaluated the expression and subcellular distribution of the antiapoptotic protein… (More)

This paper argues that the answer to the question, what has to be learned, needs to be established before the question, how is it learned, can be meaningfully addressed. Based on this conviction,… (More)
